"It seems that the plan is progressing much faster than expected, and you should have convinced King Cobra, right?"
Allen jumped off the sand ship, glanced at the chaotic personnel around him, and immediately realized that the palace was completely under the control of the Revolutionary Army, even Royal Guard, who was known as the most loyal, was no exception.
Obviously, this situation would never have happened without King's permission.
This also means that, as described in the plot, Cobra is indeed a ruler who is willing to consider the people, so he chose to give up his rights in exchange for Alabasta's rebirth.
"That's right! His Majesty King is much more reasonable than expected. At the same time, he also volunteered to join the parliament as a member to provide us with some guidance on experience in governing the country."
With that said, Long turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who was blocked behind by two Devil Fruit users.
He is none other than Alabasta Kingdom, the twelfth generation King, the father of Princess Vivi, Naferutali Cobra.
Although he does not have a crown on his head and wears a gorgeous robe that symbolizes King's identity, he still gives people a sense of majesty.
"Haha, nice to meet you, Your Excellency Allen." Cobra smiled and stood up to say hello.
He knew very well that compared to people like himself who obtained the throne through blood inheritance, Four Emperors, who was superior to New World, was the real king.
Especially the one in front of me not only possesses nearly Invincible force, but also created a fantastic country out of thin air.
"I am also very happy to meet you, Your Majesty King Cobra. After all, Nefertari Family was one of the twenty royal families who founded World Government, but your ancestors did not move into Holy Land and become Decay, the corrupted Celestial Dragons like other families. This alone is worthy of admiration. What's more, you yourself are also a qualified ruler, at least before Crocodile used Dancing Powder to mess up the rain in this country." Allen returned the gift very elegantly.
Hearing these words, Cobra immediately showed a wry smile, "If I had known that Crocodile's purpose was Ancient Weapon Pluton, I would never have allowed him to use Alabasta as a base."
"I can't blame you. Who allowed him to successfully package himself into a heroic image to deal with One Piece. By the way, where is Crocodile now?" Allen asked with interest.
"That guy and his men are in this city. A melee broke out two days ago with the navy led by Straw Hat Pirates, and Smoker, and Hina. If you weren't afraid of being exposed, I would have captured them all for you." Long shrugged helplessly.
You must know that he saw his son Luffy beaten up by the other party with his own eyes, and almost lost his life.
But for the sake of the Revolutionary Army's career, not only can't he take action, but he also has to pretend that he doesn't see anything. That kind of aggrieved feeling is simply terrible for any father.
"Don't worry, the game of cat and mouse is fun only if you play it slowly. Lucci, Kalifa, Fukurou, go find these three groups." Allen ordered without looking back.
"Captain! Do you want to kill Crocodile? Chirp..." A very nasty smile appeared on Fukurou's big and round face.
"Don't! That's Straw Hat Kid Luffy's upgrade experience package." Allen explained with a half-smile.
"Upgrade experience pack? Do you think Straw Hat Luffy can defeat Crocodile? He hasn't even mastered Armament Haki yet, how can he pose a threat to Ability User of Logia Devil Fruit?" Kalifa's eyes widened in surprise.
"Don't forget, he is the grandson of Monchi D. Garp, the grandson of Monchi D. Long, the person who was entrusted with his dream by Red-Haired. How could he not be able to do even this little thing?"
When saying these words, Allen glanced at Long deliberately.
If there is anyone in the world who fully understands the potential of Luffy, it must be him.
Especially Rubber-Rubber Fruit, which is extremely malleable, is far less weak than others think.
In addition, Sand-Sand Fruit has the weakness of not being able to touch water, and Crocodile has been destitute of physical skills for a long time. Even if you just look at the data on paper, Luffy has a 10 to 20% chance of winning.
"I'll take care of the navy!"
Lucci obviously doesn't like nonsense, so he directly used Shao to disappear from where he was.
"I'm going to find Straw Hat Pirates!" Kalifa followed closely behind.
Seeing that both companions had chosen their targets, Fukurou could only helplessly spread his hands. "Okay, then Crocodile belongs to me. Chibababa..."
Watching all three former CP9 senior agents leave the palace, Cobra sighed slightly, "I heard that Vivi is now with Straw Hat Pirates, eager to defeat Crocodile and save the country. It's really hard for her."
"Don't worry, I promise she will be fine." Allen made the promise directly.
"No, what I am worried about is not her safety, but that she knows that all her efforts are in vain, and her heart will not be able to bear such a huge blow." Cobra explained while holding his forehead.
"No! Princess Vivi is not as fragile as you think! Her heart is very strong, so strong that she did not give up even though she knew the enemy was Seven Warlords, but chose to fight like a warrior." Rebel Army leader Kousa immediately retorted.
"Oh? I didn't expect that your evaluation of Vivi would be so high!" Cobra's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Hmph! In my opinion, she is more suitable to become a great woman King than you." Kousa stabbed the old King's wound without hesitation.
But instead of being angry, Cobra laughed happily, "Hahahaha! Thank you for the compliment! I didn't expect that you would recognize Vivi more than me, King. But it doesn't matter! Because the future of Alabasta will be decided by the people of this country, not one or two King or princesses."
"Well said! This is what revolution is about! Come on, let us continue to have meetings to discuss how to get this drought-stricken country back to normal as quickly as possible."
After saying that, Long took the lead and walked towards the largest meeting hall in the palace.
This was originally an important place where King convened ministers to deal with state affairs, but now it has been transformed into a huge conference room. A large number of representatives from inland areas gathered together. At a glance, there were hundreds of people densely packed.
Obviously, it is definitely not an easy task to coordinate the interests of all parties.
But under the coordination of Long and Lao King Cobra, recovery plans are being passed at an unprecedented speed.
Looking at the oases on the map that had disappeared but were now marked again and ready for reconstruction, Aokiji finally couldn't help but murmured to himself, "This kind of revolution doesn't seem bad."
"How is it? Are you relieved now?" Allen asked meaningfully.
"Of course! If every country where a revolution breaks out can end up like Alabasta, I will definitely support it 100%..."
